Baytril Question

So I have a ball python with a lower RI, I took him to the vet yesterday and left him overnight. I picked him up today and the vet gave me baytril that is to be taken orally, 0.2cc's twice a day. The bottle says 45mg/0.5oz. I'm just wondering what the concentration is, since I usually see 2.27mg/ml instead of ounce. Is 15 milliliters 0.5 ounces, if so, can I say that there is 45mg of baytril for every 15ml? What is the concentration of baytril in mg for every single ml of solution? Thanks, any help is appreciated!

Oh highschool chemistry class.

Alright, you have 90mg/oz (multiply 45mg/.5oz by 2 to get 90mg/1oz)

The conversion rate of oz to ml is 29.574 ml in every ounce, so multiply 90 mg/oz by oz/29.574ml (90/29.574) yeilding 3.04 mg/ml
